The official schedule doesn't come out until February, but the Mid-American Conference has already determined the pairings for the 2013 football season, and shared them with The Republican on Friday. The schedule is the exact inverse of this past season's slate.

Highlights include a visit from the Huskies, who are headed to the Orange Bowl to face Florida State to cap off 2012, and a trip back to Mount Pleasant, Mich. for Charley Molnar, who worked as part of Brian Kelly's staff in 2006.

The dates for these games have yet to be determined, but here's everything we know currently about the 2013 schedule.
